Forbes names Briefing.com a 2001 Best of the Web Pick
Publication urges investors to “turn off CNBC and tune into Briefing’s commentary”

Chicago, IL—December 6, 2001—Briefing.com (www.briefing.com), the leading provider of “live” market analysis and commentary via the Internet, was recently named for the 2nd year in a row a top-site pick in Forbes’ latest “Best of the Web Awards.” Chosen in two different categories, Forbes notes Briefing is “a great place for running commentary…” under the Wall Street Research category at http://www.forbes.com/bow/b2c/review.jhtml?id=223.

“It’s an honor to be recognized for two years in a row as having the highest quality market analysis in a category that includes Multex Investor and Yahoo! Finance,” says Dick Green, president of Briefing.com.

Forbes also listed Briefing.com as a top site under Bonds, specifically noting Briefing.com’s “attractive layout…” and “…clear description of service offerings”. This review can be found at http://www.forbes.com/bow/b2c/review.jhtml?id=274.

Briefing.com is no stranger to other awards from Forbes. In the May of 2000, Briefing was named a top bond site for its “clear, unbiased reporting” of bond market information and analysis by Forbes Global magazine. Briefing’s recent Best of the Web awards from Forbes as well as our recent 5th straight placement in Barron’s yearly awards are further confirmations that Briefing.com continues to remain strong and competitive, even in tough market conditions.
